 Let's look at that gdb command in more detail.

   indexed by the ''object index'' portion of the object ID.

-Notice that the ''front''flag'' is displayed as ''8058280''.  This is in decimal since we used ''p'' not ''p/x'' to gdb.  Since this number is even, we know the ''in use bit_ is 0 and the block is free.  Thus the first block on the heap is 8,058,280 bytes and there are at least that many bytes left.
